NEW CATHEDRAL HIGH SCHOOL PRESIDENT

Rob Bridges Writer / Lynda Hedberg Thies . Photography / Brian Brosmer atCarmel.com / OCTOBER 2016 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 7 atFishers.com / OCTOBER 2016 / FISHERS MAGAZINE / 29

Robert Bridges was chosen as the sixth president to lead Cathedral High School by the Cathedral Board of Directors in October 2015 and began the new role July 1. Bridges knew from a young age that he wanted to do something that would have an impact.

Trusting the desire to make a difference, he put in motion several life experiences that impacted his life and made the opportunity to work at Cathedral his fate.

Bridges made the decision at the age of 16 that he wanted to have an impact on the world, so he contacted the Peace Corps to inquire about the program and held onto the information until after college. The Peace Corps gave him the opportunity to

“I AM HUMBLED AND HONORED TO BE SELECTED AS THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF CATHEDRAL“ -ROBERT BRIDGES back to Michigan where Bridges returned to teaching and leadership positions, and their younger two children were born.

“Seven years ago when it was announced that Rio would host the Olympics, we made a decision to make this a family trip.

Our children are bilingual, and we made a promise to return to Brazil as often as we could to stay connected with Marcia’s family.

This worked out well for them because Marcia’s father and three brothers live right there, and they have apartments two blocks off the beach from Copacabana.

Over the years, we have created our own exchange program, bringing her niece and nephew in from Brazil to live with us for the summer and sending our kids to Brazil to live with her family for the summer.” The family had the privilege of being comfortable travelling around Rio and also being American where they connected with a lot of the U.S. athletes like Michael Phelps and made for some pretty tremendous photo opportunities.

The decision was not made lightly.

Bridges knew the opportunity would be great professionally, but that also meant considering how his children, Robbie, 18 , a senior; Gabi, 16, a sophomore; Daniella, 14, a freshman; and the youngest Sammy, 11, would feel transferring into a new school. This was not an easy task, especially since the family was happy with their community, and Bridges was comfortable in his role as Head of Muskegon Catholic Central, a K-12 school system in Michigan.

But Bridges, a doctoral student at Catholic University in Washington, D.C., knew that even though he was leaving an amazing opportunity, many things fell into place for this position, confirming that Cathedral was the right choice.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected as the next President of Cathedral,“ Bridges says. “My family and I are excited to join a new Catholic community with strong traditions of high achievement and service to others.

I am committed to ensuring Cathedral’s continued viability and vibrancy for another generation of students in the Holy Cross tradition.”

LISA KROSH

“ WORK GOT ME OUT OF BED, KEPT ME A PART OF A TEAM AND KEPT ME FOCUSED.”

Writer / Jane VanOsdol Photographer / Brian Brosmer

The treatment room buzzed with energy as nurses took vitals, explained procedures and prepped for the first chemo treatment.

In the midst of her stress and fear, patient Lisa Kroshus, vice president of corporate sponsorships at Indy Fuel, became aware of a persistent clicking sound. She turned, shocked and angry to see her husband taking pictures. “WHAT are you doing?” she asked. “I can’t believe you’re taking pictures of me right now. I don’t want to remember this.”

Sixteen months and 18 rounds of chemo later, Kroshus is glad her husband trusted his impulse to digitally document her fight against breast cancer. “It’s amazing to watch yourself go through that transformation because you’re sort of living outside your body the whole time it’s going on,” she said. “I can’t believe I went through all that. There were a lot of moments of not recognizing myself.”

MY JOB SAVED ME The very day after chemo and almost every day since then, Kroshus has been in her office – but not because it was required. On the contrary, Indy Fuel has been incredibly supportive, telling her to take off all the time she needed. Kroshus, however, was determined to not sit at home, focused on cancer. “Work got me out of bed, kept me a part of a team and kept me focused,” she said.

Her co-workers showered her with support, asking about treatment and pampering her with useful gifts. As the chemo sessions racked up, so did the side effects. On the rare day she could not physically make it to the office, Kroshus worked from her couch. “My job was the best medicine I had,” she said.

REMISSION With a scary stage 2 triple-negative cancer diagnosis now in remission, Kroshus is a big believer in treatment being “doable.” She is fascinated by recent strides made in breast cancer research and the subsequent change in treatment. The focus is shifting from the stages of breast cancer to the personalities of breast cancer, which allows for a much more targeted treatment.

A DIFFERENT WOMAN During treatment, a team of five doctors closely monitored Kroshus’ condition which was reassuring. Something she didn’t expect, however, in the midst of the relief was the uncertainty she felt after her final chemo session. “The team congratulates you, and then you’re done and walking out the door. I was thinking ‘Where do I go? What do I do? What happens if something happens to me?’” she said.

That uncertainty was what at first selfishly (her words) propelled her into becoming a 2016 Susan J. Komen for the Cure® Ambassador. During the introductory meeting, a vulnerable Kroshus found her wings and the answers to her questions within the supportive group of Ambassadors, all of whom had overcome immense challenges. “It was very, very powerful to be around such strong women, and I realized all the sudden that I was one of them, which was really incredible. I felt stronger immediately,” she said.

Kroshus’ focus shifted as she realized that she could draw upon the strength of all the breast cancer survivors who had walked

14 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / OCTOBER 2016 / atCarmel.com

this journey before her. She now wants to unselfishly help those undergoing treatment by lending them her strength and knowledge.

THE WORK OF AN AMBASSADOR As an Ambassador, Kroshus’ duties includes attending events to raise awareness or promote research, speaking, handing out information, answering questions, attending fundraisers and doing interviews. “[We are] putting a face to the disease, rather than it just being a generic disease,” she said.

Interestingly, her involvement with Komen actually began years ago in Dallas before she was even diagnosed. Each year, she participated in Komen Race for the Cure®. She now marvels at how life has come full circle. “I was actually doing that for myself,” she said. “You never know when you may be saving your own life.”

Overall, Kroshus takes great satisfaction in encouraging women who are just starting treatment by helping them realize that although it’s difficult, they are stronger than they realize, and they can do this. “Not to minimize [cancer], but I try to sort of minimize it because I don’t want to give cancer the spotlight. It doesn’t deserve it,” she said.

Marianne Glick CONTINUING A FAMILY LEGACY AND CREATING ONE OF HER OWN

Writer / Kara Kavensky Photographer / Brian Brosmer

Marianne Glick knows no stranger.

Everyone she sees walk into the new offices of The Eugene and Marilyn Glick Foundation receives a warm smile and a hug. As Chairman of The Glick Family Foundation Board of Directors, Marianne is honoring her passion for helping others.

Giving has been a common theme, established throughout Marianne’s

Marianne’s mother, Marilyn Koffman, was born in Detroit. Her birth mother died during childbirth, and her birth father never returned for the baby. Marilyn was adopted when she was 6 months old.

Marilyn’s adoptive father passed away “There are so many people who don't when she was 10. Several years later, she have the opportunities that I have had,” and her mother moved to Indianapolis shares Marianne. “As a community and where Marilyn attended Shortridge High as a society, we have to be able to assist School. They lived in a home just down the others and provide opportunities to help street from a young man named Eugene develop their full potential in a variety (Gene) Glick. Gene was a year older than of ways.”

they attended the same Temple.

After graduation from Shortridge, Gene attended Indiana University where during the summer of his senior year in 1942, he was drafted into the Army. His story is shared in Tom Brokaw’s “The Greatest Generation” and in Mickey Mauer’s “19 Stars of Indiana: Exceptional Hoosier Men.”

Not long after the war ended, Marilyn needed one more person for a bridge party, and her mother suggested she “invite that nice Gene Glick over.” They hit it off and were married two years later.

“Dad worked issuing GI loans at a bank, and Mom worked at Meridian Life Insurance Co.,” shares Marianne of her parents’ early start. “Before they married, they had

managed to save close to $10,000 and looked for land for building their first home. This began their business.”

Gene and Marilyn started a home building and real estate company together during their first year of marriage. Marilyn and Gene were both good salespeople. They worked together on all aspects of the decisionmaking. Gene was in charge of construction, and Marilyn would select and pick up the supplies. One time, she had a flat tire along Fall Creek Parkway and had to call Gene to help her. She routinely hauled a flat bed trailer behind her car and had a load of cinder block, wood and materials upon it the day of the tire incident. The work crew was waiting on those supplies but first had to fix her flat.

As their family grew, Marilyn’s role transitioned to being at home, although she was still very much involved in the business. Marilyn would later recall in the memoir she published at the age of 85, “Once Upon a Lifetime,” that these early years were among the happiest of her life.

Giving back to the community was a constant for the Glick girls as they grew up. Marianne is the oldest and has three younger sisters. Their parents believed wholeheartedly in philanthropy. Most of their initial philanthropic involvement was centered around Jewish causes, and then in the 1970s and 1980s, they broadened their scope.

“Gene Glick, along with his wife, Marilyn, are among the most generous philanthropists in recent Indianapolis history, and that continues today in their honor,” says Mickey Maurer, Chairman of the Board of the IBJ Corporation and of The National Bank of Indianapolis.

Marianne’s first deep dive into philanthropy began with the Women's Business Initiative in the mid-80s. She was just started her own corporate training business and became very impressed with the level of support

INDY METRO / OCTOBER 2016 / TownePost.com

provided to women-owned businesses thru the WBI.

Project Committee (GIPC), then later the Children’s Bureau.

By the following year, Marianne chaired their annual conference and entered into the organization’s leadership. “It was inspirational to make a difference in women's lives,” she shares of the experience with the WBI. Thanks to her presidency of the WBI, Tom Binford approached her to lead the first women’s division of a United Way campaign.

This was a first in Indiana and one of only a few in the country at that time.

The following year, Marianne joined the United Way of Central Indiana’s (UWCI) Board. She was one of three women on this more than 90-member board. Marianne saw a vast opportunity in this discrepancy.

After her father became ill, Marianne began reassessing the Pro100 program.

By the program’s 30th anniversary, numbers were down to around 80 students in Indianapolis. The program had evolved away from golf courses, maintaining primarily an outdoor focus

“We clearly needed more women on the UWCI board and other nonprofit boards in the city. When we asked, the men said they did not know of women qualified for board positions,” states Marianne.

She worked with Ellen Annala, who had just started on United Way’s staff, to create the Women’s Leadership Program to provide training for women to serve on volunteer boards. This program is still in existence 26 years later. “Within five years, one-third of UWCI’s board was women.” Marianne is still actively involved with United Way. In 2011, she led the first annual campaign to raise over $40 million.

“If there is a cause that I am passionate about, I meet with the CEO to see if I assist in some way,” says Marianne, who is clearly not shy about her passionate commitment to community service.

In 1982, Gene began a youth employment program called Pro100.

The idea behind Pro100 was to match 100 Indianapolis-area students with local golf pros. The students completed beautification projects on the golf courses and gained exposure to landscape architecture and design, construction and groundskeeping.

Early origins of this program were run under the Greater Indianapolis

on college campus projects such as Marian University where professional development classes were offered in the afternoon to the students.

In August 2014, Pro100 became TeenWorks. In 2016, TeenWorks provided jobs and professional development training as well as assistance with college choices and applications – 325 in Indianapolis.

The Muncie chapter of TeenWorks saw enrollment increase from 20 students to 70. With a proactive stance, TeenWorks secured additional funding and is flourishing as an organization. The rebranding was just what was needed, and this all happened, thanks to Marianne’s vision coupled with an outstanding staff and board of directors.

"The Glick family's positive impact upon our city cannot be overstated," says Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett. "From the Cultural Trail to their Housing Foundation to TeenWorks and beyond, their generosity continues to enhance lives, making our city stronger. While Marianne honors the legacy of her parents, she is a leader and inspiration in her own right."

In addition to all of her philanthropic endeavors, Marianne is an artist. She donates quite a bit of her art to be used in silent auctions to raise money for various organizations.

“My parents were collectors,” says Marianne who has always shared an appreciation of art. Her mother’s collection of glass is on display at the Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

Marianne’s creative style, aesthetic and techniques have evolved over the last 10 years since she began painting.

“It is an out-of-body experience to see my art properly displayed and well-lit with appropriate wall spacing,” says Marianne who is a guest speaker for the Indiana Conference for Women at the end of October.

In a world of change, our focus is steadfast.

“Marianne is a lovable free spirit with multidirectional deep talents. She can motivate you, amuse you and inspire you – a great lady to invite to dinner,” says family friend Mickey Mauer.

Marianne was a challenge for her parents when she was younger. She jokes that she mellowed out and came into her own when she reached the age of 50. Now Marianne does things every day that she hopes her parents would be proud of. “My Mom, if she could see what I am doing now, would say, ‘Gee, she didn’t turn out so bad after all. Who knew?’” says Marianne with a shrug and a smile.

The Glick Foundation builds community and creates opportunities.

INTO THE WOODS

DEBUTS AT BEEF & BOARDS Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre will present its premiere production of Stephen Sondheim’s enchanting musical, Into the Woods starting Oct. 6. The Brothers Grimm hit the stage in this epic fairy tale about wishes, family and the choices we make.

The story follows a Baker (Don Farrell) and his wife (Meaghan Sands), who wish to have a child; Cinderella (Amanda Downey), who wishes to attend the King's Festival; and Jack (Danny Kingston), who wishes his cow would give milk. When the Baker and his wife learn that they cannot have a child because of a Witch's curse, the two set off on a journey to break it. They venture into the woods where they meet Cinderella and Jack, who are each on their own quests. Everyone's wish is granted, but the consequences of their actions return to haunt them later with disastrous results.

James Lapine and Stephen Sondheim take favorite storybook characters and bring them together for a timeless, yet relevant, piece. The Tony Award-winning book and score are both

enchanting and touching. Originally opening on Broadway in 1987, Into the Woods was brought to the big screen by Disney in 2014, earning three Oscar nominations and starring Meryl Streep as the Witch, James Corden as the Baker, Johnny Depp as the Wolf, Emily Blunt as the Baker’s Wife, and Anna Kendrick as Cinderella.

Into the Woods is on stage for 51 performances through Nov. 20 in the intimate space of Beef & Boards Dinner Theatre. Tickets range from $41 to $66 and include Chef Odell Ward’s dinner buffet and select beverages. Parking is always free. For reservations, call the box office at 317.872.9664 anytime between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Tuesday through Sunday and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays.

Discounts are available to groups of 20 or more; contact the Group Sales Department for more details.

having the perfect life. There were pictures and videos of my friends buying their first homes, having babies and going on vacations. But here were Joe and I going to chemotherapy, doctor appointments and living in constant fear, so I started the blog to update my friends and be seen in my struggles.”

Amanda’s intention was to reach out to family members and friends and update them on Joe’s condition and their journey. But the result was that people connected to the way Amanda authentically shared her journey, and the blog grew to 10,000 followers. Both Amanda and Joe were amazed by the following, and that is when Amanda received a gift from one of their followers. The gentleman messaged her and told her that he had paid for her to enjoy a massage. She said, “I did not realize how much I had put myself last as a caregiver but how important this small gesture meant to me.” Amanda realized there was something to this “Cocktails and Chemo” message.

During their three short years of marriage and cancer, Joe was in remission for 11 months. During that time, they discovered they were pregnant. The overwhelming joy of realizing a goal of starting their family was soon overshadowed shortly thereafter by the return of Joe’s cancer. Spending both her pre-wedding and pregnancy time going to doctor appointments and chemotherapy, both Joe and Amanda continued to share their journey until Joe passed away two years ago in September 2014.

The Roncalli High school grad was in the throes of planning her wedding to the love of her life, Joe Clark, deciding on place settings, bridal gifts and what to eat at the rehearsal dinner when her world turned upside down.

And with just two months before her fairytale wedding and two days before the love of her life’s birthday, they received the devastating news that Joe had Stage III Colon Cancer. But Joe and Amanda learned to love deeply, cherish the time they had, communicate what was really going on in this journey along the way and turned pain into purpose to help others.

The “Cocktails and Chemo Blog” was created when Amanda and Joe were trying to make sense of Joe’s diagnosis and the struggles they were going through after the diagnosis. They wanted a way to share what was happening with family and friends. The name came up because they realized that they would have to trade their cocktails for chemo treatments.

“I would look at Facebook and see that everyone seemed to be

Then there was only Amanda’s voice. The blog now had over 20,000 followers, and she decided to turn her pain into purpose. The blog is now part of the services that Amanda offers in the Cocktails and Chemo Foundation, a nonprofit organization that was formed with the vision to make a difference to the often-forgotten caregivers of cancer patients. Amanda shared, “Joe asked me to keep this blog going after he passed, and I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with it, but I just felt I owed it to Joe and our daughter to keep his legacy alive.”

Turning the gift of that massage into a simple reminder that caregivers need self-care, especially during a time like this, was the reason she created care packages for the caregivers. “I have learned through this journey that it is hard to know how to be a friend and support someone that is going through this journey. It can be incredibly isolating, especially if your friends or family are not sure what to do.”

“We are not really taught how to talk about painful subjects like terminal illness and death. Sometimes people have funny ideas about grief, like how long it is supposed to last, and anything after that is strange. People grieve the loss of normalcy of the life and dreams they once had, and they also grieve when the person passes.

There are definitely no rules when it comes to grief, but people will still tell you that you have a year or some certain timetable that is ‘acceptable’ to grieve. But grief doesn’t work like that. But if we don’t talk about, it ends up isolating the person who is already overwhelmed and burdened with the care of their loved one.”

HERE ARE AMANDA’S TIPS FOR HOW TO SUPPORT YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT ARE CAREGIVERS 1. Tell them you are sorry for their suffering – they want to be acknowledged for their pain.

7. Drop off gift cards because chemo is expensive, no matter how well you think you have planned.

2. Offer to take their children for a play date, so they can rest.

9. Host a fundraiser or start a GoFundMe page; people are not working when caring for their loved ones, so they lose income.

3. Take them a meal and drop it off at the door. Don’t stay and visit – it’s not about you.

4. Mow their yard, trim their bushes and get their mail – anything that will offer relief.

5. Tell them that you think they are amazing and courageous and that you cannot imagine how painful and difficult this is – validation is the key to feeling “seen” and “heard.”

6. Buy them flowers or send them a card to let them know you are thinking of them.

8. Offer to sit with them at the hospital.

10. Nominate them for a care package from Cocktails and Chemo.

11. Run errands, buy their groceries and get their children to their activities.

12. Be present – don’t just say, “Tell me what I can do for you” because they are already overwhelmed, and it is difficult for them to ask for your help, even though it is obvious. Just offer to do something.

If you would like to follow the Cocktails and Chemo blog, visit cocktailsandchemo.com and sign up to donate. Or if you know of a deserving cancer caregiver, nominate them to attend the “Stay Glam” event on October 21 at Kiss Kiss Bang Bang Salon in Carmel.

Countless security experts, magazines and online lists name Hamilton County’s cities of Fishers and Carmel as the safest in the nation. This said, violence, particularly domestic, still occurs.

About 15 percent of Prevail’s clients come from out of the county to access their services while over 80 percent of those they serve are victims of domestic or sexual violence.

THE INDIANA CHILDREN’S WISH FUND

HONORS GEORGIA BUCHANAN AT THEIR 25TH ANNUAL “PORTRAIT OF WISHES GALA” her dad to save them for her when she was a child. She couldn’t read it all, but she tried.

She kept the papers under her bed by the stove in the kitchen in their flat above the pool hall.

Georgia spent her first couple years of high school at Manual. Up until that point, she studied at The Settlement House. As she walked hand-in-hand with friends across the city blocks, her eyes opened to a world previously foreign to her. She had never crossed West Street to the east or south of Maryland until that moment. The walk across the city to school and back each day expanded Georgia’s world exponentially.

The Indiana Children’s Wish Fund began in 1984. “Our small staff does huge things,” shares Executive Director Terry CeaserHudson. “We are a local Indiana organization that honors a lot of wishes each year for children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Our fundraising is mainly done through unique and fabulous events.”

milestone birthday and entering her 10th decade, she’s sharp as a tack and as spunky as ever.

Born to Greek immigrants in 1926, Georgia Gianakos grew up in downtown Indianapolis on West Washington St. above a bakery and a pool hall. This land is now home to the Eiteljorg Museum. She lived in an area known as “The District,” which consisted of Military Park to the north and The Settlement House where These events include an Airplane Pull with the JW Marriott now majestically rises.

Celebrating their 25th Annual “Portrait of Wishes Gala,” the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund will present the 2016 Meagan Skinner Award to longtime supporter and champion of children, Georgia Gianakos Buchanan.

Sitting down to speak with Georgia Buchanan is like opening your grandmother’s jewelry box for the first time; she’s filled with personal treasures and delightful discoveries. For just reaching a

Georgia’s father owned The Manhattan, a Greek restaurant located near their home.

When asked why her father named it The Manhattan, Georgia shared what her father had told her, “When my ship approached the mouth of the Hudson and the Statue of Liberty was in view, passengers were shouting, ‘Manhattan! We made it to Manhattan!’”

Newspapers would be left on chairs and tables in the mornings, and Georgia asked atCarmel.com / OCTOBER 2016 / CARMEL MAGAZINE / 33

“The manager at the back door of the Circle Theater would let us sneak in to watch films,” recalls Georgia. “I thought it was a palace with the velvet chairs and ornate woodwork. This exposure to film left an indelible impression on me. How ironic that I would become a movie critic!”

When Georgia was in the midst of her high school years, her parents realized their American Dream, buying their first home off 40th and Illinois. Leaving the 24 steps to their walkup apartment where Georgia’s bed was next to the oven in the kitchen, the Gianakos family of six moved into a beautiful new home. Georgia transferred to Shortridge High School for her junior and senior years.

Georgia knew, without a doubt, that she wanted to be a writer. She was so astute with this decision that after graduation, Georgia walked boldly into The Indianapolis News/ Star office and announced she wanted to be a journalist. She was ready to get to work.

“When I was asked where I went to college, my answer was ‘Shortridge High School.’

To his credit, instead of laughing at me, the employment director wrote my name down and told me to go to college and come back in four years,” explains Georgia. “He said

he would hire me, so I earned my degree at Butler University, and he was true to his word. Later, he told me he did not hire me for my talent – he hired me for my guts. He said that ‘guts is the most important thing in the newspaper business.’”

Georgia began writing promotions but longed to be upstairs writing a column with a byline. There were two female writers upstairs; one wrote a radio column and the other wrote the obituaries. One day, the managing editor wanted to see her about a newly available position upstairs. “I thought to myself, ‘Don’t be obits,’” shares Georgia. The gal who had been writing the radio column was pregnant and leaving her position. Georgia was her replacement.

ever spoken with,” states Georgia, adding, “Hugh Downs was also very bright.”

A highlight of her career occurred when Cary Grant came to Indianapolis on a media tour. He had agreed to an exclusive with The Indianapolis News, yet she was unable to leave her desk due to the deadline for their weekend TV edition. Cary surprised Georgia by coming to visit her directly at her desk. “And wouldn’t you know, all of our cameramen were out on assignment, but I at least got him to sign a glossy,” recalls Georgia.

The only time Georgia ever felt nervous during an interview was when she spoke with Edward R. Murrow. He was then anchor of the CBS newscast, “You Are There.” “He was such a giant in the industry,” Harry Truman was recently elected says Georgia. To break the ice, she shared President, and television exploded, seemingly with Murrow that when she was a little girl, overnight.

Georgia has done everything she can for her son who is now flourishing in his 50s.

Georgia created amazing opportunities for him in an age when support was unavailable.

Her draw to the Indiana Children’s Wish Fund is a bond anchored in love and purpose. She has worked tirelessly to provide opportunities for children with special needs and life-threatening diagnoses.

In her lifetime, Georgia has chaired 30 events and sat on 10 different Boards.

One of the events Georgia chaired was the Second Annual “Portrait of Wishes Gala” and continued on as chair for the subsequent decade.

“Georgia entered The Indiana Children’s Wish Fund in its infancy,” shares Terry.

“I am who I am today because of her. She is like a mother to me. I can’t say enough about her.”

The annual Indiana Children’s Wish Fund “Portrait of Wishes Gala,” one of the largest fundraisers for the organization, will take place Saturday, October 8, 2016, at The Pavilion at Pan Am Plaza in downtown Indianapolis. Special festivities will take place to honor the 25th anniversary of the gala and more than 3,300 wishes granted for Indiana children.
